On this week's show we're featuring audio from Finding Nemo: The Musical at Disney's Animal Kingdom in the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. Finding Nemo is a very interesting success story from the park, because it takes a Disney-Pixar film with relatively no musical offerings and brings it to life on stage with catchy musical numbers and moments that have audiences tearing up right there in their seats. Today, we're going to listen to pre-show music that can be heard in the theater before the show and the show itself.

On this week's show, we're taking a one-of-a-kind look back at the original Disney theme park, Disneyland, with author and Creative Director Dave Bossert.

His new book showcases Disneyland from 1955 through the park's 25th anniversary in 1980 and beyond with never-before-seen photographs of extinct attractions and views of the park that have transformed over the decades.
